[Locke wakes up in a hospitel bed, with Jack staring darkly at him]
What are you doing here?
Jack, how did you find me?
You were in a car accident and you were brought into my hospital. What are you doing here?
We have to go back.
[laughs bitterly] Of course. Of course we do.
Jack, the people I left behind need our help. We're supposed to go back--
--because it's our destiny? How many times are you gonna say that to me, John?
How can you not see it? Of all the hospitals they could've brought me to, I end up here. You don't think that's fate?
Your car accident was on the west side of Los Angeles. You being brought into my hospital isn't fate, John. It's probability.
You don't understand. It wasn't an accident. Someone is trying to kill me.
Why? Why would someone try to kill you?
Because they don't want me to succeed. They wanna stop me. They don't want me to get back because I'm important.
[beat] Have you ever stopped to think that these delusions that you're special aren't real? That maybe there's nothing important about you at all? Maybe you are just a lonely old man that crashed on an Island. That's it. [standing] Good-bye, John.
